Superthermite found in WTC rubble

[Sol Invictus]

Remember that mysterious white plume of smoke that emerged at the foot of the WTC after witnesses heard numerous explosions just before the WTC collapsed?

A team of scientists claim to have unearthed startling data from dust and debris gathered in the days and weeks after the World Trade Center towers collapsed on Sept. 11, 2001.

In a study published by the Open Chemical Physics Journal — a peer-reviewed, scientific publication — Steven E. Jones and Niels Harrit level a stark allegation: that within the dust and rubble of the World Trade Center towers lays evidence of “a highly engineered explosive,” contrary to all federal studies of the collapses.

“We have discovered distinctive red/gray chips in all the samples we have studied of the dust produced by the destruction of the World Trade Center,” reads the paper’s abstract. “One sample was collected by a Manhattan resident about ten minutes after the collapse of the second WTC Tower, two the next day, and a fourth about a week later. The properties of these chips were analyzed using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (XEDS), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).”

This is a very eye opening article. I read about this about on the Daily Paul site.

There are some facts that I believe in. The heat of a diesel jet fuel fire is not near hot enough to melt steel, which had to have happened to cause those buildings to collapse. The joke of a report, The 9/11 Commission, did not address this issue.

Speaking of Controlled Demolition. :p

Thought it would be interesting to see people's reactions to this:

could the explosive have been on the planes? as a way of helping the collapse?

How would they have managed to infiltrate the airport security and implant tons of thermite?

Btw, Va, perhaps you should try and locate the articles which have literally translated what Obama's tapes have been saying?

I can't find them, but they were very insightful.

[Skandi]

Since they have been analysing for trace amounts, I doubt there were tons there it wouldn't take much.

[Beorn]

I doubt there were tons there it wouldn't take much.

Excuse my over exaggerated use of the word, but I didn't mean a literal 'ton'.

How much would be needed?

[Skandi]

Depend what you want to do I suppose, also if it were in the building or on the plane

Okay. Could you realistically supply two sets of terrorists with two highjacked planes with enough thermite to collapse two high towered buildings?

Would the amount of thermite needed raise suspicion if carried onto a plane?

Thought it would be interesting to see people's reactions to this:
BBC News announced Building 7's (Salomon Brothers Building) collapse nearly 25 minutes BEFORE it actually collapsed!

As if that wasn't enough, they actually bring in an on-site reporter reporting that it had collapsed, even though you can CLEARLY see Building 7 on the left side of her head!

I suppose that would depend on who was doing the supplying, but I doubt it would be difficult to get on board, there were few security checks on internal flights then, and a suitcase can carry quite a lot! unfortunately I don't know how much would be required and I rather expect that the placement it more important than the quality, it could well have been there to ignite the fuel.

The two towers collapsed so perfectly, straight down, like planned implosions they do to old buildings. We have all seen these videos of old buildings being imploded, and fall down upon themselves. Those destruction take a lot of planning by engineers, and can only happen when the explosives are placed just right and timed just right. Even when they do all this planning, sometimes the building does not come down as intended.

There were reports of NY firemen who were in the building, helping with the evacuations before the collapse, who saw explosives around the central pillars. Of course this did not go into the public, official reports.

The reports of various types of thermite residue only adds to the theory that something was planned here. It would take something like thermite to create the heat needed to melt those giant steel pillars holding that building up.

The question is, who may have placed the thermite explosives there before hand anyway?

Now that is a very good question, if it were the terrorists why the cover up? Unless the government does not wish to spark panic in all high rise offices.

Some of the answers I have heard bandied about are the Mossad, CIA, and the nebulous NWO.

The Trade Towers were half filled at a discounted rate. They were filled with asbestos with would have cost millions to fix. The owner Silverstein doubled the insurance on the towers a few months before they collapsed.

I am fairly certain the Towers were closed for inspection a few weeks before the collapse.

I am usually more suspicious of the large explosions that were reported to have come from the basement.
